Okay hear me out… when I was pregnant with my daughter I resonated strongly with the worship song “Make Room” by the Church Will Sing. It became the pinnacle song of surrender that embodied my entire pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experience.
Slowly and gently, God was prompting me in the early months of postpartum that I needed to embrace this Make Room mentality in my motherhood — and to share my experience and continued journey through life, faith, and motherhood with the world. I immediately started writing in the little notes app on my phone, documenting words that God gave me here and there.
That’s where this “Make Room Mama” idea was first birthed.
What I didn’t consider is how that song of surrender could also fully embody this next year and journey of my life. Early in 2026, a dear church friend of mine mentioned that she didn’t want to see me keep shrinking myself to please others. A lightbulb flicked on in my brain, and I realized that was exactly what I had been doing — and that I’d been doing it long before I even became a mother.
That sparked a change in me I never expected. Around that same time, I also found this amazing mental wellness company called Amare that, along with reading my Bible every day, helped give me the motivation, energy, and confidence again — to fully surrender what everyone else expected or needed from me, and to instead follow God’s prompts and walk in His plan and purpose for my life.
So here we are. I’m finally launching this blog and website, and with its launch I’m also starting an 8-Week Health and Fitness Challenge — so that we can build a like-minded, faith-centered community that wants to hold each other accountable for stewarding God’s gift of our bodies in a healthy and intentional way.
I hope you’ll join me. You don’t have to have it all together — you just have to be willing to make room.
You got this, Friend. 🤍
